I've only got food Becca, no sweet treats I'm afraid!

Hello owls

Mil is coming over shortly she is staying here tonight as she is looking after the dc and pink rabbit. She will of course feed our hungry owl behind the sofa too. Me and dh are off to a spa hotel for the night, we have a few treatments booked and then dinner tonight. Just got to pack an overnight bag....

I hope you've told her about my special diet pink

I got an appointment to see the breathing consultant. Am terrified.

Do not be terrified Becca . That's the dept I gave been under since I was taken to hospital back in Feb. It's the Thoracic dept. I obviously don't know what you will have, but I have had X-rays each visit , lots of blood tests, and a CT scan which didn't take long at all. You will be ok.

The wait is 12 to 18 months, not two weeks - that's why I'm terrified. It means there's something very serious suspected wrong. I also have very severe PTSD as well as hospital phobia. I simply cannot cope with more bad news. I'm missing my godmother more than I can say right now. I suddenly realised today it's a month until Christmas and it hit me like a ton of bricks she's gone and I'm feeling very lonely. I very rarely see anyone now because I'm so unwell. I find myself responding to people who mock me because I just cannot ignore it anymore and my panic attacks/flashbacks are getting the better of me too.

And pink has abandoned me!!!!!

Becca if you have problems with your breathing, they aren't going to make you wait 12 to 18 months before they see you. The reason they will see you unite quickly is if we can't breathe we are in serious trouble. I saw someone very quickly and gave seen them roughly every ten weeks since. Please don't ge frightened, they are there to try and help you.

My GP and patient services were the ones who told me it'd be a year. I can breathe just not properly if that makes sense though I've been trying various techniques I've found online since Tuesday which may (or may not?) be helping.

I can't cope with hospitals after my experience last year.

Buteyko is an excercise to help with breathing, maybe this would help you. You can probably find out about this online.

That's one of the things I'm trying, though it's rather hard for me to do. I've also got some for COPD - i know it's not that but the exercises are for easier breathing.

It sounds so simple to do but it actually bloody hard to breathe delibrately!

Just do what ever suits you best Becca but don't overdo things.

Sending love and applie pie.

I'm not well either shin week. Hand-holds for everybody

Don't worry Becca, it was 90% sugary pastry

I'm feeling very fragile tonight. Spent Friday asleep / unconscious in A&E. I knew what I'd taken would be fine, but obviously I worried averybofy around me. Got home late and got the all clear. Still very tired today. The DCs have been at MILs since fri. I e been knitting and catching up with rubbish TV.

Had an afternoon tea after our treatments at the spa today. The hotel is lovely, dh did good finding this place 😃

Am off to bed now, night owls

Pink that looks awesome!

Sleep for me now. Getting the DCs in the morning

Oooo I should have stayed up a bit longer and had yummy cake (munches) and not had scary dreams about being chased by lin with apples!!

Anybody else up?

yeah, i'm up.

Hello!

I've got a busy day tomorrow, and I know I need sleep, but I can't seem to switch off. Aslo got a stomach ache and I'm cross-referencing my undetactive thyroid symptoms so I can go to the doctor armed with ammo to get my medication increased

me too Curtains, and the internet is too quiet at this time of night.

Agreed! I'm going to attempt to put my phone down and get some sleep. Hopefully you can get some too. I may well be back though

i'm going to do the same, sleep well.
